About Benzalkonium Chloride+choline Salicylate+lignocaine Hydrochloride
Benzalkonium Chloride+choline Salicylate+lignocaine Hydrochloride is an oral gel used to relieve pain and inflammation caused by mouth ulcers, denture sores, and other minor irritations inside the mouth. It combines a pain reliever, a local anaesthetic, and an antiseptic to reduce discomfort, numb the affected area, and help keep the sore clean. By easing pain and protecting the damaged tissue, this medicine helps you eat, drink, and speak more comfortably while your mouth heals.
For the best results, apply Benzalkonium Chloride+choline Salicylate+lignocaine Hydrochloride exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. It is usually applied directly to the affected area several times a day, preferably after meals and before bedtime. Avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing your mouth for at least 30 minutes after application so the medicine can remain in contact with the sore. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding spicy, acidic, or very hot foods can help promote faster healing.
Most people tolerate Benzalkonium Chloride+choline Salicylate+lignocaine Hydrochloride well, although you may notice a mild burning, stinging, or temporary numb sensation immediately after application.

However, stop using the gel and seek immediate medical attention if you develop severe allergic reactions, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or persistent irritation that worsens instead of improving.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have severe liver disease, aspirin allergy, bleeding disorders, or if you are taking other medicines containing salicylates or local anaesthetics. Do not use this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to choline salicylate, lignocaine (lidocaine), benzalkonium chloride, or any other ingredient in this gel.
